A very easy galaxy from a city. Its elliptical-spiral structure was obvious. But I could not make out the central, dark dust lane. A beautiful and a must see galaxy.

Today was partly cloudy. The transparency was between poor and fair! In this kind of situation + The light pollution of the city of Bangalore, no detail could be seen, except that there was central brightness surrounded by a haze. It was quite large. Averted and periferral vision works well. On a 8" f/8 80x did well. I could not see the black strait that gives the galaxy its name.

With the bright moon tonight I was surprised to be able to view m64. Obviously I was not able to make out the "black eye" but all the same it was a good sight. also viewed m81 and m82, m51, m5, m13 and some other nice clusters and doubles. I wont let a bright moon stop me again there is still plenty to see on bright nights!
